As someone from Illinois who is obsessed with Garrett's Popcorn, I was thrilled to see a gourmet…read morepopcorn place in town. Samples galore, an extensive flavor menu, and a variety of sizes to choose from. A tip-unless you are feeding a large group, don't get a huge size of the sweet flavors. SO dang rich and a little bit goes a long way. The snack size has lasted my family of 5 over a week now and doesn't go stale quickly coated in caramel or chocolate. We gobble the cheese varieties fast, though. Keep your hands and fingers clear of the bowl. ;-) Take 6 is my favorite sweet flavor, with caramel corn covered in PB, chocolate, nuts, and pretzels. Yes, please. The extra cheddar is our fave savory flavor. But honestly, you can't go wrong.... especially because you can sample anything before purchase. Did I mention this place is a rockin' gift shop, too? We picked up so many unique stocking stuffers, both candy and random local goods. They also have a wall of bulk candies. I would avoid these, as the Jelly Bellies we got were extremely hard and stale. Doesn't impact the star action, though, because popcorn is their expertise. The service at both locations is always top notch, too! Both the owners and employees are super kind and helpful.

"Candy is natures way of making up for Mondays." ~Unknown Author"…read more This is a fun candy shop! Kid's eyes light up when they go in, and even if you are not a kid, it is hard not to feel like one as you scan the huge assortment of candy on display. From nostalgic retro candy, to chocolate truffles, to the bins and bins of candy sold by weight it easy to get caught up in the fun. Parental guidance is suggested, however, when it comes to price. A couple of kids given free reign to filling their bags can easily set you back a semester or two of their college tuition! Your inner child will love the sugar shock, your adult self will experience the sticker shock! Overall a fun break if you are shopping at the outlet mall!

CANDYLAND! This…read morewould not normally be a stop for me but since I'm with my candy loving daughter... This store is all about sugar, so beware! If you can imagine it or remember it, they probably have it. I was really shocked when I looked on one of the lower shelves and noticed what looked like a raw nut mix. What?? That's a good start because parents need options. However, I am not going to purchase my nut mix at a candy store because I would be worried about freshness. People come in for candy so they aren't necessarily interested in nuts. Also, with them being located so low on the shelf they are probably rarely noticed. These factors mean that there is probably a slow turnover and less likely to be fresh. As you know, stale nuts are just not okay! I ended up purchasing hard candy for my daughter and chocolate for my husband. I did not purchase anything for myself because the chocolate in these stores is likely to be more processed, higher in sugar and not even close to fine chocolate which is my favorite. I tried the toffee and it was WAY too sweet so there is no way I could even approach that turtle, (my husband's personal favorite). Today is not about me, it is about my Boos and they get what THEY like. This store has a great selection for all candy lovers to explore. 8/10/16 Edit: I am browsing the fridge when I notice that my husband's candy is in there "chillin". A little chocolate sounds great so I go ahead and try a bit of that monster turtle even though I never eat them because they are usually sickeningly sweet. When I break a piece off, I notice that they were not stingy with the nuts. As I proceed to taste it, I am taken aback! It is actually very good an not too sweet all. I STAND CORRECTED! It was the perfect bit, smooth delicious, lightly sweetened chocolate with a generous supply of pecans. Perfect!! I will definitely purchase this treat again on my next visit. I highly recommend this turtles, you won't be disappointed!

What started as a chocolate shop…read morein 1995 has expanded into a local hub for Knoxville gifts, as well as jewelry, home decor, stationary, candles, baby goods/gifts, and an in-house chocolatier. They even create beautiful gift baskets for any possible special occasion. This is the type of spot I could spend hours in with a smile on my face, although they do have a user-friendly website that allows you to shop and order online with the option of both shipping or store pickup, too. While I could have purchased the entire store and died happy, I opted for chocolate this time around. After watching chocolate being made next door (glass windows inside the store that look into the "chocolate factory" area), I knew I needed to try the dark chocolate STAT! The workers behind the counter were so darn sweet (pun intended) and helpful. They offered samples galore and recommendations when asked. I ended up ordering dark chocolate caramels, nonpareil dots, peanut butter melts, and turtles. Everything was incredible, but my husband and I have been dreaming about the dark chocolate caramels (the round, gooey version...we didn't try the chewy caramels yet). I grew up obsessed with Sno-Caps candy, and their Dark Chocolate Dots are heavenly. The chocolate is just such good quality, better than any other chocolate shop I've tried thus far. Can't wait to go back for both sweet and gifts for loved ones.

This is a cute little chocolate shop with some fun knick knacks and photo ops -- I especially enjoyed the two sauropods outside, hehe. There's a wide array of mostly chocolate based treats -- classic dipped goodies like Oreos, chocolate covered nuts like cashews and peanuts, chocolate coins, etc., as well as chocolate covered apples and the more-unique chocolate covered popcorn and chocolate covered pork rinds. Their Easter displays were up and some of the Easter goodies were so cute. They also sell ice cream and milkshakes! After browsing for a while, I decided on a chocolate turtle/pecan cluster and some milk chocolate covered cashews. There was only one employee available while I was browsing and she was on the phone with a customer the whole time; she finished about the time I was ready to check out and was effusively apologetic about her lack of attention. I really didn't need any help so it wasn't a big deal at all, but it was nice to feel like she cared! I split the cluster with my husband later and we both enjoyed it just fine. Some bites of pecans still had that faintly woody/dusty taste they get sometimes but it wasn't overwhelming. The milk chocolate covered cashews were also pretty good; the chocolate especially was very creamy. I do wish there'd been a teeny pinch of salt in them or perhaps the cashews had more of a roasted taste, but that didn't stop me from eating them all lol. A nice stop for a quick sweet treat :) give them a try!
